Find some clips of a classic movie where a character is in a movie theater, or is watching something on a TV or computer screen. Edit in sequences from a newer movie's trailer, one that you wou;d totally not expect this character to be watching. Get it? One movie watching another. If you are good, the watching character's emotions will be relfectd by the scenes in the new movie. Even better, bleed some of the audio of the newer trailer over the original so the sounds overlap.

For examples see:

Kurt Russell Watches the remake of The Thing (2011)

George C Scott Watches Star Wars on Blu=Ray

Malcom MacDowell watching Jack and Jill

Subtle Switcheroo

Take an assignment and alter it very slightly. Make one small change or multiple changes. Just make sure they aren’t too obvious. Think about those “side-by-side photos in magazines, can you spot the 10 differences between the two?” type deal. Think about letting your audience know how many changes there are so they can look for them all. You’d be amazed at what people notice and what they subconsciously choose to overlook!
